Total Taekwondo Booster Club

Total Tae Kwon Do is here to let Grace know we have her back!

She is a 8th grade honors student who has been training at our club for the last six years. Her mental fortitude is showcased through her dedication to her scholastic and extracurricular activities. Not only has she been able to skip a grade AND earn honors status among her classmates, she also leads by example within our club. She shows all of us that dedication to appropriate nutrition balanced with intense and thoughtful drilling can lead to the amazing opportunities.

She has taken advantage of those opportunities by earning her status as the first female from Indiana to have national team spots among the three predominant organizations in the U.S. - the USAT, AAU, and ATU. She is a two-time national team member and this year, she has earned the privilege to represent Indiana, and the United States, at two prestigious competitions.

The first is the 2025 Pan American Cadet Championship being held in Queretaro, Mexico April 5 and 6th.

The second, and most prestigious tournament any one from our club will have ever attended, is the Tae Kwon Do Cadet World Championship in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates May 10 -14.

These are amazing opportunities for Grace to showcase her leadership, mental fortitude, technical skill, and problem solving on the mats as she represents the very best our state has to offer.

However, these opportunities are completely self-funded, and can be quite cost prohibitive. Flights alone can be several thousand dollars for each person traveling. We want to make it possible for Grace to focus on her training and scholastics by coming together to raise the money to cover her travel expenses.

Donate to help her cover these expenses. Every like, share, and dollar makes a difference in getting her closer to the mats in Mexico and the U.A.E.

While you share our GoFundMe and cheer Grace on, we will be training with her, helping her discover and exploit opportunities in her competition, and making sure she is as ready mentally and physically as possible as she continues her journey to becoming a top rated and recognized global Tae Kwon Do athlete!

We will be keeping you updated as we continue with our state and regional competitions.

All donations are tax deductible, and you will receive the appropriate IRS form with every donation you make.

We are the Total Tae Kwon Do Booster Club and we support the competition team of Total Tae Kwon Do in Columbus, IN.

35 athletes: 92% female, 91% minority, ages 5 - 46, grassroots to nationally recognized athletes, all make 1 team!

Our athletes aspire to become champions in Olympic Sparring, Point Sparring, and four different categories of Traditional Poomsae (forms) at the 2025 AAU Tae Kwon Do National Championships being held in Salt Lake City, Utah. Daily training, participating in advanced seminars, and qualifying at state tournaments is only the beginning of the journey.

The cost of participation for a single athlete can range from $4-6000. Your contribution to our non-profit organization will be distributed to fund airfare, lodging, focused training, required equipment, and registration.

With many of our families having multiple athletes hoping to showcase their skills, your assistance is even more important to help them achieve their goals.

Your financial support will mitigate these expenses so that our team can focus on mastering their skills with expert instructors and live development exercises; all while continuing to embrace the tenets of Tae Kwon Do:

2024 AAU TaeKwonDo National Championships

We did very well at the 2024 nationals and hope to showcase even more of Indiana's talent this summer at the 2025 AAU Tae Kwon Do Nationals in Salt Lake City, Utah!
